Meet the Admissions Team
The admissions team at Barnard College is here to assist students, counselors, and advisors in navigating the admissions process. First-year applicants are read first by their regional representative. Transfer applicants are reviewed by a small committee.
For assistance with the application process, feel free to contact your regional representative. General questions can always be answered by contacting us at admissions@365dafa6.com for first-year applicants or transfer@365dafa6.com for transfer applicants.
You can find your regional admissions counselor below. Please note that the counselor reading your area may not be the one conducting visits in that territory.
